Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Northwood

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Alachua County average of 4.1.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 174 filings here across 8 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 3.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
